on Building Anticipatory Technology -> .
Mike made a comment about my work, on an Anticipatory Web alternative to Semantic Web.
He said:
"Personally, I am only interested in discussing the Anticipatory
Web if you have a concrete syntax that can be compared and contrasted to
the Semantic Web Stack as proposed by
the W3C or similar technologies like XTM proposed by ISO."
A PowerPoint was developed this morning to make this syntax clear, at least long enough to allow someone to load and read the notational paper where a full description is given.
We are extending the discussion that Paul Werbos introduced regarding
"To what extent is the world collecting and organizing major
streams of data in such a way that one cannot go back and apply time-series
methods of inference/induction, in order to learn about the dynamics of system
under study? . . . If one is
interested in anticipation or prediction, it is rather essential to be able to
analyze dynamics as seen in prior history."
The anticipatory technology has a surprising answer, and one that provides a fractal like knowledge base.
A fractal data structure has the property that after a short period of time new encoding of new data saturates. The saturation means that no new memory is required to store the data. Saturation occurs as information is more and more expressed in terms of old informational invariance and rules for construction of specific elements.
This means that scalability issues are by-passed. Interoperability issues are also by-passed in a surprising way.
